5.1.3 Bench Alignment
TT bench alignment
Bench alignment process
Required materials:
662M4 goniometer, 743S12 heel height measuring device,
743A80 50:50 gauge, alignment tool (e.g. 743L200 L.A.S.A.R. Assembly or 743A200
PROS.A. Assembly)
Assemble and align the prosthetic components in the alignment apparatus according
to the following specifications:
Dorsiflexion/plantar flexion:
Adjust the prosthetic foot to the heel height of
the shoe. (The prosthetic foot is designed for shoes with a heel height of
10 mm
.)
Adduction/abduction:
Adjust the angle of the prosthetic socket in the front
al plane.
Flexion/extension:
Adjust the angle of the prosthetic socket in the sagittal
plane.
Linear shifting of the prosthetic socket:
Shift the prosthetic socket so that
the plumb line runs along the front edge of the adapter on the prosthetic foot
(see fig. 2).
